BS in Agronomy from ESALQ - University of São Paulo (1984), MS in Animal Science from ESALQ - University of São Paulo (1991), PhD in Animal Science from the University of Arizona (1996) and Post Doc from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln (2019). Has experience in beef and dairy cattle production and nutrition, focusing in intensive grazing and confined dairy and beef productioin systems, quality and levels of roughage in diets for cattle, supplementation of grazing cattle, cereal grain processing, byproducts, fat and protein nutrition and feed additives for dairy and beef cattle.

The objective is to evaluate the effect of inclusion levels of dry distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) (de-oiled) in the diet of feedlot cattle on the performance, metabolism and emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Five treatments (inclusion levels of DDGS in dry matter (DM) will be evaluated: 1) 0 g/kg DDGS, 2) 150 g/kg DDGS, 3) 300 g/kg DDGS, 4) 450 g/kg of DDGS, 5) 600 g/kg of DDGS.…
The Visiting Researcher Prof. Luis Orlindo Tedeschi will collaborate in the research projects being developed by the group, which mainly involve the use of co-products and additives in the diet of beef cattle in tropical pastures and also in confinement. The projects evaluate metabolic parameters, ingestive behavior, ruminal parameters, animal performance, consumption and greenhouse gas …
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of food, feed, fiber and (bio)fuel. Estimates indicated that the country would need to increase food production in 40% to meet global demands by 2050. Meanwhile, tropical agricultural systems have to be important allies to sequester carbon (C) and reduce greenhouse gases emission, and consequently, contribute to mitigating clima…
The planned study aims to compare the performance of finishing beef cattle feed diets with different levels (0, 15, 30 and 45% on dry matter basis) of inclusion of dry distillers bran solubles and two different energy sources: starch/corn or pectin/citrus pulp. Three hundred and sixty eight Nellore bulls will be allocated in 60 experimental pens for 120 days. The following variables will…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the supplementation with calcium salt of palm oil (CSPO) in dairy cows grazing on tropical pastures. Three experiments will be conducted. In experiments 1 (Exp. 1), 2 (Exp. 2) and 3 (Exp. 3) supplementation levels with CSPO will be: T1 = Control (no added CSPO); T2 = 200 g/day; T3 = 400 g/day; and T4 = 600 g/day. In Exp. 1, 40 Holstein cows will be use…
The Visiting Professor will work on a project approved by FAPESP which involves the study of energy supplementation of beef and dairy cattle grazing tropical pasture on metabolic parameters, ingestive behavior, ruminal fermentation, animal performance, milk composition, consumption, etc. In addition, the Visiting Researcher will teach a workshop on LRNS (Large Ruminant Nutrition System) a…

The objective is to analyze the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), methane (CH4) and ammoniacal nitrogen (N-NH3) by the ex-situ method (micro rumen) in diets withdifferent levels of inclusion of dry distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). Twenty rumen cannulated Nellore steers with an average weight of approximately 350 kg will be used, distributed in a completely randomized de…
A study will be conducted with the objective of comparing the productive performance of Holstein cows in the middle third of lactation, kept confined in a free-stall system, submitted to two experimental treatments: T1 - Control (fine ground corn + soybean meal) and T2 - DDGS (ground corn + soybean meal + 17% DDGS), both diets with a 60:40 roughage:concentrate ratio. In order to evaluate …
The research aims to evaluate the effect of inclusion levels of dry distillers grains plus soluble (DDGS) (de-oiled) in the diet of feedlot cattle on the performance, metabolism, ruminal microbiota, N excretion and emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Five treatments will be used, considering levels of DDGS inclusion in the dry matter (DM) of: 1) 0 g/kg of DDGS, 2) 150 g/kg of DDGS, 3) 300…
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation with calcium salts of palm oil (CSPO) with or without lysolecithin (LS) for feedlot early lactation dairy cows. For this, an experiment will be carried out, wherein the animals will receive forage ad libitum and 9 kg of concentrate supplementation with three doses of CSPO associated or not with LS: T1 = 400g CSPO; …
The aim of this study is to evaluate the supplementation with calcium salt of palm oil (CSPO) in dairy cows grazing on tropical pastures. Eight rumen-cannulated cows (15 LD) will be used in a repplicated Latin square design, wherein will be measured ruminal parameters: pH, amoniacal N and short chain fatty acids. Data will be analyzed by SAS 9.4 (PROC MIXED). Significances levels will set…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the supplementation with calcium salt of palm oil (CSPO) in dairy cows. Four experiments will be conducted. In experiments 1 (Exp. 1), 2 (Exp. 2) the supplementation levels with CSPO will be: T1 = Control (no added CSPO); T2 = 200g/day; T3 = 400 g/day; and T4 = 600 g/day. An additional level (T5 = 800 g/day) will be used in experiment 3 (Ex. 3). In Exp…

The objective of this experiment is to determine the effects of two methods of rumen protection and two doses of choline on hepatic tissue composition in cows induced to develop fatty liver. The cows will receive 1 of 5 treatments top-dressed daily, for 14 days: - A (negative control): top dressed with lipid coating material containing 0 g of choline ion; - B (positive control, Reashure l…
Early-lactation cows usually enter a period of negative energy balance and fatty acid (FA) supplementation is a strategy that may increase energy intake and performance of these cows. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of reports in the published literature that have determined the effect of FA supplementation on early-lactation dairy cows. Importantly, we know of no reports in the publis…
The Post-Doctoral project proposed will be composed by 4 performance and 3 metabolism experiments with feedlot finishing cattle to evaluate corn distillers by-products produced in the USA and in Brazil. The Experiment 1 will be conducted at the Feedlot Research Center of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. In this study, 60 feedlot cattle will be individually fed diets containing corn…
